The Gironde Estuary, in France’s Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, once had a thriving fishery for wild European sturgeon (Acipenser sturio). However, the species was so overexploited for its caviar that it nearly became extinct in the 1970s, leading to a ban on fishing for the species in 1982. Since 2010, CITES has banned fishing and trade of all wild sturgeon around the world.

In response to the 1982 restrictions, the CEMAGREF – a French public research institute in agronomy and environment – swiftly introduced the Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baeri) strain into France for aquaculture production. And Nouvelle-Aquitaine – the former stronghold of the French sturgeon fishery – is now where six out of the country’s seven sturgeon farms are located.
